Arsenal star Kieran Tierney may have hinted at a potential exit from the club this summer amid links over a switch in the coming months. The Scotland international has previously been a key player for the Gunners, but this season has found game time hard to come by.
The signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer has seen the left-back role change to a more inverted position in build-up, where Tierney's strengths come from width. Mikel Arteta has chopped and changed his full-back selection in recent weeks though, handing an opportunity to impress.
"We had to adapt. We had some important injuries in our backline," the Spaniard said when asked about switching his defenders. "We had three players out and we had seven players in the backline this season. That was a concern. There were certain things that I wanted to had adapt because I have been thinking a long time about those options. If not we are very exposed. I’m so happy with what they’ve done."
